Extracts from an email sent to U.C.T in February prior to hurricane Emily in July 2005

"We have another challenge, please keep us in prayer and tell other overseas about it, who knows what the Lord has in store.

We have been give notice to leave the place that we are keep service right now, because the owner is coming back from the U.S.A. and wants to push down everything.

As you know, our church has been a distribution center since after the hurricane; we brought in a ship fully loaded with clothes, food stuff, water and other things for Carriacou. These were distributed house to house."

"This congregation will be homeless in July 2005 so your help is needed". Pastor Happy

This became a reality on Thursday 14th July 2005 when hurricane Emily ripped across Carriacou destroying the little church and leaving many of its congregation roofless.

Meet the congregation

Land has been donated to the 'youth of the island' for the erection of a new church in Carriacou. A special thanks to the Grenada government.

Your help is needed to assist Pastor Happy and his congregation as they start to build their new church.

URGENT help is needed in the form of donations and hands of help to build.

Helpers were housed at Cassada Bay FREE, and the church provided one hot meal per day to anyone visiting the island to help work on the church building project.

Unfortunately Cassada Bay was badly damaged during hurricane Emily and this service is no longer available. But alternate accommodation is available.

Pastor Happy & Sr Denise

Pastor Happy Akasie (Hapstar) was born in Africa. He has had multicultural experiences due to his extensive travel to about 27 countries around the globe.

Answering the call of God has facilitated his further travel to many foreign mission fields.
